foregoing facts she became UNCONSCIOUS
and about midnight she died. James
Crouthars, a brother of the murderer,
heard that his mother had been beaten.
He went to the house and admiinisteredsa
fearful beating to Luke, and then went.
to Leayitt's house, and was broken down
by learning Of his mothers death. A
singular feature of tine case is that a
Mrs. Hardy, who had gone to the house
intending to spend the night with Mrs.
Crouthers has DISAPPEARED, and seems to
have left he village. 1t is not known
whether or not she knows anything about
how the murder occurred. The case
against young Carouthers rests entirely
upon his mothers statement.

OF dynamite are stored in London in
localities kept secret from all except

The Tierard s~Iin,ssry.

LONDON, Dec. At transpires that
the second attempt at cabinet making Of
NJ. Terard, resulting in his forming a
ministry, was due to the direct contra
vention and positive action OF President
Carnot, who threatened to resign if the
did not make another effort and
crown 1t with success. The new min
istry is now undergoing the fire Of ortiz
cism to which N. Rouyier's cabinet was
subjected when it WAS formed, and sim
liar predictions OF its brief endurance
are indulGed in by men of all
parties. La Justice the organ of M.
.sClemenceau, pitches into the new gov
eminent ferocfously In positively assert
ing that it will do well to survive the
holidays, and declaring that it does not
deserve to live even a single day. Like
it's predecessor, however, it may surprise
It's few friends and battle its many enc
mics. It may steer clear of dangerous
legislation, and avoid the risk OF putting
itself on the defensive, thus OUTLYING the
animosity its creation has engendered.
